@kamalmostafa @mhcerri I noticed that linux-azure 4.18.0.1003.3 was uploaded to cosmic-proposed so I built a new test image.
For convenience I have imported your SSH keys to 'ssh ubuntu@51.140.217.58'. All logs and VHD etc. have been uploaded to https://private- fileshare.canonical.com/~philroche/azure-cosmic-20181011/ ** Attachment added: "cosmic minimal image with linux-azure 4.18.0.1003.3 (from cosmic-proposed) boot log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+bug/1795017/+attachment/5199957/+files/eeDaquoh3aiqu-vm-imagedebug-boot.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795017 Title: linux-azure on cosmic minimal image boot speed Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, We're planning to share a new Cosmic minimal image for Azure including the linux-azure custom kernel. I have found boot speed increase from ~55s in non minimal image to over 6mins for minimal image. I have gathered boot log, systemd logs and cloud-init logs for this instance @ https://private-fileshare.canonical.com/~philroche/azure- cosmic-20180927/minimal/. You can see the same logs for the non minimal image @ https://private-fileshare.canonical.com/~philroche /azure-cosmic-20180927/base Most of the time seems to be spent in crng and "task swapper/0:1" (?)

I understand that minimal images are intended to boot without initramfs but I did install initramfs-tools in another test image which did result in much better boot times. See https://private-fileshare.canonical.com/~philroche/azure- cosmic-20180928/ for logs.
